Nirav Patel

Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

Unified complex B2B commerce has streamlined workflows and now supports faster global ordering

While there are no specific pain points, HCL Digital Commerce's complexity does require a unique architecture, and it would be beneficial to have an integrated architecture that simplifies end-user integration with other AWS cloud services. Additionally, an improvement in speed would be advantageous; for example, if orders could be processed within a minute instead of three to four minutes, we could boost selling time.Optimizing for sales productivity to minimize processing time while maximizing sales time would also be valuable. Regarding challenges, the complexity of the structure due to large product catalogs, complex pricing, multiple brands, and regional requirements does create challenges. Reducing these complexities through HCL Digital Commerce's features could streamline our operations, particularly regarding ERP, CRM, payments, security, performance, and scalability.

Owner at Rischio Compliance

A fully integrated powerful tool for managing businesses and providing seamless integration with internal systems

I would rate the initial setup of Oracle iStore as easy. The deployment process typically takes about three months, with five phases covering various aspects like Oracle requirements, solution deployment, cloud integration, and pricing. We have about twenty people dedicated to maintaining Oracle iStore, with roles including network engineers, cloud network specialists, systems administrators, and business management.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Has all the modules needed for an order management solution."

"The most valuable solution is that it allows you to adapt it according to the customer's needs."

"It is a very mature product. It has a lot of features. It can also be very easily customized in order to reach goals or features that are not available, but mainly the fact that it's a very mature platform with all major features that are normally required by the clients is most valuable."

"HCL Digital Commerce has automated customer self-service and contract pricing, allowing approximately 80 to 90% time saving per order."

"The tool has a really rigid structure, so it is not something that has the simplicity to adapt to newer environments in a fast manner."
